GAMEPLAY MECHANICS — THE APPRENTICE'S SPECTRAL ARSENAL

[ON PLAY] — THE SWORD SAINT'S RESURRECTION PROTOCOL!

You may trash 1 card from your hand: Draw 1 card AND play up to 1 "SWORD" type Character card with a cost of 8 or less other than Helmeppo from your trash! THAT'S RIGHT! A CARD FROM THE DEAD RISES TO FIGHT! Your trashed SWORD unit — your ace, your finisher, your 8-cost titan — POPS RIGHT BACK ONTO THE BOARD! A second life! A second strike! And you STILL GET A CARD! The Apprentice feeds the cycle and HARVESTS THE REWARDS! But the blade doesn't stay forever — at the end of the turn, it RETURNS TO THE BOTTOM OF THE DECK! A temporary resurrection! A FLASH OF GLORY! The Sword Saint's legacy lives on in cycles of death and return!

GAME USE: THE SWORD CYCLING ENGINE FOR NAVY SWORD SUPREMACY

A TACTICAL POWERHOUSE for Navy SWORD and Black-focused decks! At 7000 power, Helmeppo is a SERIOUS BOARD PRESENCE in his own right, but his real value is the RESURRECTION! Trash a card from your hand, draw a replacement, and PULL A SWORD UNIT FROM THE TRASH onto the board! That's a SECOND PLAY of your key SWORD attacker — your 8-cost ace that you already used and K.O.'d? BACK ON THE FIELD! The end-of-turn return means it's not permanent — it's a LOAN FROM THE DEAD! Perfect for aggressive Navy SWORD packages that want to reuse their big attackers without burning their deck! The Apprentice honors the Sword Saint's will through ENDLESS CYCLES OF BATTLE!

HELMEPPO'S SWORD CLEAVES THROUGH DEATH ITSELF! THE NAVY'S YOUNGEST BLADE DEMANDS AN ETERNAL ENCORE!
